Out of the box, Outlier Air has a jaw-dropping battery life of up to 10 hours. True wireless headphones in the market typically ranges from 3 to 6 hours of battery life, we took that and doubled it — all while saving you the hassle of having to constantly recharge your headphones.

2 TIMES THE POWER

The charging case provides up to 2 times of recharge on both earbuds — that's 20 hours!

30 HOURS TOTAL PLAYTIME

In total, the incredibly long-lasting battery life provides a total playtime of up to 30 hours. That's enough playtime for the longest flight route in the world!

2x More Power

Constructed in a premium aluminum housing, the sleek charging case weighs a mere 54g (1.9 oz) that is small and easy to carry around. Simply pop your earbuds back into the case for storage when you are done with your listening session, and the case automatically charges it back to 100% for your next sesh. The case is also rechargeable via an included USB Type-C cable to a Type-A charging port.

Audio

Graphene Driver Diaphragm

To achieve audio excellence, we have incorporated a top-quality 5.6mm graphene driver diaphragm — the world's thinnest and hardest nano-material that is lighter than paper, stronger than steel, and a better conductor of electricity than copper. The graphene diaphragm consumes minimal energy while providing superior audio quality, so Outlier Air can optimize power to drive excellent audio reproduction for detailed highs, well-balanced mids, and immersive bass.

Stay motivated with the powerful beats and ride the momentum of your playlist as you take on the toughest gym grind!

Bluetooth 5.0 Low Energy with aptX® and AAC

Outlier Air features the latest Bluetooth 5.0 that is capable of performing at twice the speed of Bluetooth 4.2 while consuming lesser energy than the latter. Together with the supported aptX and AAC audio codecs, you can expect rich, enhanced sound quality over smoother and uninterrupted audio streaming for the ultimate listening experience.

Connectivity

Dual-voice Calls with Smart Assistants

One major flaw of existing true wireless headphones is that they only allow for calls in mono, where audio is only heard from one side, and is usually restricted to the right earbud. With Outlier Air, you can hear audio out of both earbuds while on a call and also have direct access to Siri or Google Assistant!

Both earbuds are fitted with built-in mic for calls and smart assistant functions. All you need to do is to assign your preferred side as the main unit control. The secondary earbud will then be automatically paired — no extra steps required!

To switch off, simply place the earbuds back into the charging case and they will switch off automatically.

REVIEWS

Expert Reviews

In the world of true wireless earbuds, the Creative Outlier Air are up against competitors costing two, three or even four times the price. Yet they hold their own, and in some ways even better those rivals, offering a perfectly stable wireless connection, incredible battery life and – thanks partly to Bluetooth aptX – absolutely fantastic sound.

The Gadgeteer

The Creative Outlier Air TWS earbuds have dethroned the Mavin Air-X earbuds to become my favorite TWS earbuds. The Creative Outlier Air earbuds have better battery life, better sound, and you can’t beat the price at around $80. If you’re looking for your next favorite pair of TWS earbuds, you must check out the Outlier Air.

Exceeded my expectations so far at this price. Comfortable fit. Easy setup. Switching from left to right works as advertised. Sound performance is good considering it’s a BT earbuds. Keep up the good work. Testing this on long flight next!

S. Loh

It's amazing. Fits in nicely.

k. m. sia

Received this a week in advance. Unbeatable price & unparalleled performance. Tried a few reputable bluetooth earbuds (Apple & Soulz) but they don’t come close in terms of sound quality, fit and connectivity. Really surprising that it fits nicely in my ears and doesn’t fall off after a workout. The only drawback is that it can get a little uncomfortable when you press the buttons on it. Nonetheless, its not a big issue. I certainly recommend this product.

P. K. Yap

Surprisingly good. Am very glad of the purchase. Have just ordered the second pair!

J. Ng

Great earbuds, worth every penny!

D. Cheong

The Creative Outlier Air is a well-priced true wireless in-ear headphone that features a crazy long battery life of 30 hours, bright and crisp sound signature, slick design, USB Type-C charging and Bluetooth 5.0. That's the perfect marriage of great audio, technology and price.

J. Wong

Good purchase :)

R. Wee

Super quality sound. Comfortable to wear for long time. Recommend to buy. Very satisfied with the product.

P. Lim

Sound Quality was better than I expected.
Pairing was easy and if you give it a twist to make the ear buds a better tight fit, it actually does cut off ambience noise.
The fitting of the ear buds was perfect!
I'm lady and find that most ear phones or ear buds were too big for my comfort. So this is a BIG thing for me.
Only thing is I need to get use to the button on the pods.
Would prefer a capacitive touch button but I understand that will probably bring up the price.
An awesome product at a great price! :)
